Been an active stock, options & futures trader for about 10 years now looking to change focus to RE.

bad idea and you'll end up in jail, but.. um, the onion router and bitcoin..

So I dropped out, and while working a Minimum wage gig I discovered bitcoin and tried making a business out of selling them for a markup.

Found guilty in conspiring with 20 other traders and brokers to rig LIBOR to benefit his own trading positions, Tom Hayes was finally convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison by a U.K. judge.

Over a 2 year period I was the greatest Stock trader in the world. 

Every so often over the years I have taken a temp check on bitcoin with what we can assume are 99% REI folks.

by selling now and "taking profit" as stock traders say, you re-invest in better properties and will have smaller cash flow to start but better return on equity.Any of the Refi approaches limit you to only pulling up to 75%, leaving 25% equity trapped.   

I’m a long-term Bitcoin investor looking to purchase a new primary residence.

The rest of the money is up to you, you can reinvest it to another area with good returns, use it for any other investment ETFs, Mutual Funds, or even Bitcoin.

I have also intermittently sold and invested in Bitcoin--Stock--and then back into RE.
